First: Hi 👋🏼 It’s been a while, and life got crazy. Thanks for bearing with me 🤷🏼♀️ Second: let’s talk about “sweating for the wedding” 👰🏻 I’m getting married in October. Yesterday at work, someone had extra candy, and brought it around to each of us. I just wasn’t in the mood, so I passed it up. I was annoyed & shocked, though, when another coworker shouted “she can’t, she’s on the wedding diet” ❌ EEEEK, WHAT? I was surprised, since I’d never before given any inkling that I wanted to lose weight or change my body, in fact I’ve actually offered the anti-diet mindset quite a bit.
•
This got me thinking, why on EARTH 🌍 is it a known fact that folks want to be thinner for their wedding? How’d we get here?
•
The easy answer is, well, diet culture & systemic fat phobia. Obviously. But the more complex answer is that weddings are often large, public events where we have lots of photos taken that stay around forever, and everyone wants to see. 📸 •
This makes for a pretty high-stakes situation. Lots of people, photos, center of attention, etc. It can literally make it feel like feeling good on that day is life or death.
•
But let’s look at the REALITY here: A wedding is a public celebration & commitment that two people make to each other. It’s a celebration of love, the past and the future. And it literally has nothing to do with your body or how it looks. When you look at wedding photos, what do you want to see? I know I have no interest in seeing a body that I panicked over, exhausted myself for, or deprived in any way. ❌ I want to see someone comfortable in her own skin, having the time of her life celebrating her commitment to a man who has never once asked her to change a thing. And that’s exactly what I’ll see; candy from a coworker or not 🍭
Why even bother? . . . Why bother showing up every day? Why bother reading personal development? Why bother building an online business that people closest to you might bash? Why bother becoming the best possible version of yourself doing all of these things? . We know we need to do it for ourselves. That’s who matters first and foremost. . But usually it’s impossible to better ourselves for ourselves... at first. After all, we are fixers. We worry for others. We put everyone else’s needs before our own. . So do it for them. . For the women watching you daily (because they are, I promise). . The woman in the same spot as you. Lost, confused, looking for her tribe. . For the badass who needs you. . For the queen who desperately needs your inspiration, your dedication, your determination. . For the woman that needs your humor, and your ups and downs to remind her it’s possible. . Do it for her, until you realize that also means you’re doing it for you. . Do it for her, until you can show her that she can do the same. . You are needed in this fight. There are so so so so many naysayers telling us we can’t. Show ‘em what happens when you eat that negative talk for breakfast, lunch and Mf’n dinner. . Roll with us. For you... and everyone that needs you, too. Are you finally ready for more info about this coaching “scam”? . Let’s chat. . #TeamPrevail💫
In my first year of uni, I ended up dropping out for two years because I would walk into a lecture theatre and saw no one who looked like me, there was no one there above a size 12 and this made me feel like I was never going to belong here and the truth is, I was never going to fit in. I ended up coming back to uni after my dad passed away because I realised that life is so short and I should do what I want. So I did, I’m thankful that I did. I still didn’t see many more people like me, but that’s when I realised that maybe I could graduate and be some type of representation in this field? Maybe someone might see me and realis that they could study what they loved and be good at it too and their body wasn’t going to hold them back. Now im not sure whether I’ve ever actually made someone feel like this way haha, but it’s something I take seriously. This area needs more representation, we need more POC, different types of bodies, trans, disabled, boys etc.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #haes #healthateverysize #nondiet #bopo #bodypositive #wellness #liveinspired #wellnessjourney #nourishyourself #cleaneating #fit #fitness #dietculture #keto #vegan #paleo #cleanliving #nutrition #dietitian #foodfacts #science #food #foodie #foodporn #fightfatphobia #fitness #antidiet #whole30 #rd2be #mentalhealth
A friendly reminder for this holiday weekend. Please do not apologize for your body in any way shape or form as you slip into a bathing suit, a sundress, shorts, whatever the sunny weather threads you find yourself in. You are allowed to be in the body you are today and always. The body you have is the only one you will ever get to live in. Don’t waste your time hiding it in the corner or feeling you need to explain why it is the way it is. ❤️❤️❤️ . . . #bodyimage #summer #summertime #bodyacceptance #bodyliberation #selflove #selfcompassion #intuitiveeating #nondoet #antidiet #edrecovery #theskinimin #effyourbodystandards #effyourbeautystandards
Your Diet Talk Is Boring long sleeve - coming next Sunday 2nd June. Like all of my designs, this is close to my heart. For most of my life I thought dieting was the only way. The dieting mentality stole so much from me. So this tee is all about a non diet approach. It’s about guilt free meals, snacks that don’t need to be burnt off my burpees and burning the ‘rule’ book. I hope this shirt can be worn with pride and to help squash diet culture in its tracks. #YourDietTalkIsBoring
I now officially have an M.S. degree! These past two years were extremely difficult—balancing work, school, internships, volunteering, and a personal life. I couldn’t have done it without the support of friends, family, faculty, mentors, classmates, and co-workers. ✨Short-term plans are to become a certified Intuitive Eating counselor this summer before I begin my dietetic internship with @nyphospital this fall. Then I’m on my way to more credentials—RDN, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist! #rd2be #antidiet
A bit of a laugh for the weekend 💕😂☕️
#memorialdayweekend is here!! I don’t have a long weekend and I’m not in this inflatable pool. In fact, I’ll be at work on Monday 🙈 but I’m soaking in the down time I have! Hiking with friends, lounging by my apartment pool, reading books and listening to podcasts will fill my weekend (plus laundry and errands as usual) even if you’re not on a weekend getaway, you can find you time for relaxation! Relaxing and taking time for yourself helps all areas of your health and in turn that can improve your relationship with food! Being relaxed improves digestion since you’re not in fight or flight mode, and that allows you to enjoy your meals more. How are you taking time to unwind this long (or not so long) weekend?
Just a reminder. As you make peace with food & your body, protect yourself ✌️ . I’d love to hear - How do you set boundaries when unhelpful food & body talk comes up?? . . P.S. Applications for my upcoming intuitive eating & body image healing support group are open 🎉I’m doing an application process to make sure the group is a good fit for you (& the group) & that it’s worth your investment 💗 Group will start in July! Early-bird pricing until mid-June. The group will run with a minimum of 5 individuals. Get all the info via the link in my bio 👉 @corinnedobbas 🥰 Hope to see you there xx

Sometimes losing your 'will power' and giving into those temptations to eat that high carb meal or those dessert cravings can actually pay off. Intuitive eating is one of the best ways to stop overeating, stop dieting, and find food freedom. . . . . . #dietculture #good #foodpeace #foodfreedom #diet #dietmentality #dieting #antidiet #intuitiveeating
Day 25 of HDE photo challenge, my strengths, crap at talking about my strengths when it’s not on my CV/at a job interview. But I’d say now my biggest strength is keeping a lot of plates spinning (metaphorically speaking). I have 3 wild children, run a house, work part time, and volunteer helping parents with #breastfeeding and #babywearing. So yeah pretty pleased with that! #hungerdirectedeating #hde #nodiet #dietsdonotwork #bingeeating #overeating #thinsideout #howtohaveyourcakeandyourskinnyjeanstoo #josiespinardi #eatwhatyoulove #mindfuleating #veganhde #antidiet #antidietrevolution #hdephotochallenge
I’ve been wanting to post this for awhile because I feel like this subject is something we need to start talking about more. My eyes have been so opened over the last few months to the knowledge that there is something called diet-culture and it seems to have complete power over our worth. • It tells us how we have to look in order to have value as women( men too) and it’s changed so much over the years. I am tired of hating my body. I am tired of diet restriction to make myself smaller. The funny thing is getting smaller doesn’t make me feel more worthy. The cycle of feeling like just a few more pounds or if I can just get down some more body fat still rages on. • My point is if we continue to listen to the people driving us to think that our value is tied in our bodies we will continue to feel like we are never enough. We are more than our bodies, so much more. It’s time we start celebrating those things.

Day 23 of HDE photo challenge. Struggles. Not massively struggling but eating out I had what I want and I was hungry, just had to mentally stop myself from totting up calories. However the good thing is lately I’ve eaten lots of new foods (inc this lovely dessert which Delilah stole some of) where I don’t know the calorie and I’ve haven’t looked it up! 💪🏽 #hungerdirectedeating #hde #nodiet #dietsdonotwork #bingeeating #overeating #thinsideout #howtohaveyourcakeandyourskinnyjeanstoo #josiespinardi #eatwhatyoulove #mindfuleating #veganhde #antidiet #antidietrevolution #hdephotochallenge
Day 22 of HDE photochallenge, non scale victory. Feeling myself enough to post more “selfies” and not be so critical of myself, changing from the inside now.

I’m sad. I binged for the first time in almost a whole month. I took my measurements this morning for the first time since I started hde so I think that’s what triggered it. My body was like oh no. Here we go with the measuring again, new diet incoming, MUST EAT EVERYTHING! I wasn’t going to diet I was just curious and wanted to start taking measurements! It’s so crazy, after my binge I got mad at myself and forbid dinner. In the past I would’ve starved myself that night but today I ate dinner. I was starting to get hungry so I ate! Such a huge step for me. I thought I was doing so well but I can’t fix 10+ years of diet/binge in a month. This is going to take time 🌻
Day 20 of HDE photo challenge, my happy place. Coming home from work and reconnecting with my small humans.

No amount of kale will ever cancel out an unhealthy relationship with food 🤷⠀ ⠀ Instead of labeling foods as "good" or "bad" or "healthy" or "unhealthy", try removing judgments and listening to your body instead. Our bodies are so much smarter than we give them credit for 💖 @nomoredietsplz
Good conversation, support and love is so nourishing! Having lunch today with two of my oldest and dearest high school friends was just what I needed. I hope you're doing something fun today too!
MDW calls for dessert before dinner 🙌🏻 • • You know that saying, calories don’t count while you’re traveling? While I don’t ascribe to that saying (mainly because I never count calories 🤷🏻♀️), I have ZERO ragrets when it comes to eating out, eating dessert before dinner, and eating every thing that catches my eye while on vacation. Bring on all the dairy, gluten, and refined sugar babbbby. Life is way too short to not enjoy every single second of visiting a different country: eat the damn tiramisu and don’t you dare beat yourself up for it • • #IntuitiveEating #FoodFreedom #OHMtravels
Recovery is a lifestyle. Like this Demi Lovato quote says, it's something you have to work through everyday, and there are no days off 🙅 ⠀ ⠀ If you're looking for treatment that focuses on the individual and are ready to jump into your life again, check out the link in our bio and learn more about our at-home recovery program!
The next time you feel bad about falling apart, just think about how you still loved the last taco you ate even when it fell apart 😂 🌮 @howtogetittogether⠀ ⠀ In all seriousness, it's okay (and important) to feel all of your feelings. Breakdowns happen. Hard days happen. Be gentle with yourself, and show yourself some love, even in those difficult times 💖
Inspired by @kimmythepooh's recent post on body image: Growing up Asian-Canadian, a third culture kid and child of immigrants, I was confronted relentlessly with competing beauty standards. From our parents' cultures, and the white, Eurocentric hegemonic ideals that have proliferated the globe and colonized our screens, magazines, Instagram feeds. Combining to form a toxic soup of stereotypes and expectations. In the West, the stereotype that Asian women are "naturally skinny" adds to our infantilization. As meek, subservient, don't you dare take up any more space. But we also love a cool girl who wolfs down pizza and pho and 𝘰𝘩, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘈𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘯, 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘺.

Last night I ate past fullness. Mike and I had been saying that we’d go out to a nice dinner for months and since the legislative session was finally over, we went to the @carpenterhotel to celebrate. Truly one of the best meals I’ve had in quite some time, we were gushing over each dish and drink. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And so, I ate past fullness. I wanted dessert. I was enjoying the experience of the meal, with my partner whom I love, and everything tasted awesome. I even said to him at one point, “You know, I’m getting close to full but I really want dessert.” So, we got dessert. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We get sold this myth that we should never eat past fullness, so much to the point that we pathologize eating past fullness. But there is no A+ in intuitive eating, it’s an imperfect process. I was honoring my taste hunger last night. And because I didn’t shame myself for eating past physical fullness, I didn’t fall into the “well, fuck it” trap. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s often scary for my clients to think of food as an enjoyable experience. What does that mean if they enjoy food, what implications does that have on their body? Well, I’ll tell you what implications it has: it meant I was more present in my experience last night, it meant I was able to nourish my body, it meant the way I nourished my body today wasn’t contingent on last night’s choices, and it means I get to continue to build a trusting relationship with my body.

If you've been following a "SIBO Diet" for longer than 3 months I would ask you, how's that going for you?⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ If it's going great, well then fantastic! I would just implore you to reassess if you have to continue to maintain the benefits.⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ And / or then suddenly your previous safe foods are no longer safe.⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Some people are unwilling to change their eating because somewhere along the way someone said you can NEVER eat . . . whatever FODMAP bothered you such as garlic, onions, dairy or sugar again.⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Or at least this is what people hear and it’s spreading around social media.⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ I say, MAKE YOUR OWN RULES! ⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ That's right! You heard me correctly. ⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ When you are addressing SIBO properly you should be moving forward and quickly in my opinion and in my practice. ⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ If you're ready to stop the "SIBO Diet" madness and eat whatever you want again, schedule an appointment. *LINK IN BIO* ⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ I'm SO excited to teach you how!!⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #foodintolerance⠀⠀ #foodallergies⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pooptalk⠀⠀ #candida⠀⠀ #myhealthjourney⠀⠀ #eliminationdiet⠀⠀ #vegan⠀⠀ #glutenfreeliving⠀⠀ #balanceddiet⠀⠀ #intuitiveeating⠀⠀ #nodairy⠀⠀ #leakygut⠀⠀ #ibs⠀⠀ #leakygutsyndrome⠀⠀ #bloatedbelly⠀⠀ #celiac⠀⠀ #sibo⠀⠀ #intuitiveeating⠀⠀ #nondietapproach⠀⠀ #selfcompassion⠀⠀ #antidiet⠀⠀ #girlswithguts⠀⠀ #foodaversions⠀⠀ #sibo⠀⠀ #sibofriendly⠀⠀ #sibodiet⠀⠀ #sibolife⠀⠀ #ibsfriendly⠀⠀ #ibsdiet

This is what 100 Blow Pops looks like. This box was delivered 15 days ago. Currently there are 86 left, and at least 5 of the 14 eaten ones weren’t eaten by me. I suspect these will last several more months and that eventually I will be bored with them and give the remaining ones away. Why am I telling you this? Because for most of my clients starting out, the thought of having 100 of a food that they really like in their home feels like a nightmare. Particularly if it's a food that has been deemed “bad” and as having “no nutritional value” by popular culture. Initially my clients fear foods that they have been taught they can’t be trusted around. They are worried they will binge on these foods and feel out of control. They are worried that a single bag of chips or a single pint of ice cream will disappear in an instant, never mind 100 bags of chips or 100 pints of ice cream. Part of the intuitive eating process is confronting fear foods and working to make them neutral. This isn’t easy and it helps to have support as you go through the process, but it is possible. Intuitive eaters reach a point where carrots and cookies have the same value and the choice to eat one over the other doesn’t lead to guilt or shame. Honestly, trusting yourself around 100 of anything is a great litmus test for figuring out if you’ve truly given yourself unconditional permission to eat certain foods. Not that I’m suggesting you actually need to buy 100 of anything, I more mean it as a thought experiment. Would you be able to trust yourself around 100 of a food that has previously been a forbidden food in your life?

Happy Saturday!! What can you thank your body for today, that has nothing to do with it's physical appearance? Let me hear it 👇👇👇 I'll start it off... I am thankful that I can wrap my arms around the ones I love!
My emotions are more mixed, but basically yup
I am still catching up on sleep from my trip to Vancouver last weekend, so I slept in way late this morning- to 11! It’s now 3pm and I feel like my day is just starting!? I definitely prefer my life as a early riser. Hopefully I get back on track soon. Taking it easy since I can tell I’m not very intuned with my energy today. #spoonie #spoontheory . . Wanted a quick breakfast before we headed out to the farmers market (market haul photo up soon!) so I had Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, not the best choice for me since sugar makes me feel funny, but it was fast. 🤷🏻♀️ Now that we’ve done market and groceries, I could tuck into a more substantial meal: Steel cut oats reheated with frozen berries, banana, and Ontario strawberries plus maple syrup, 5% greek yogurt, and nuts and seeds. . . . #breakfast #lunch #instafood #oatmeal #greekyogurt #fruit #food #vegetarian #vegetarianfood #nourish #plantbased #plantbasedfood #nondiet #healthateverysize #haes #health #homecooked #foodstyling #recoveringperfectionist #mindfuleating #wholefoods #trustyourself #antidiet #foodphotography #allfoodsfit #mentalhealth #mentalhealthrecovery #intuitiveeating
This is Mike’s story in his own words: “I’m too proud not to share this!🤩 The before picture was taken Feb 2017 when I weighed over 235 and knew I had to do something because my poor health was starting to catch up with me. I had no energy and low self-esteem.😟 The second pic is after loosing over 65 lbs and keeping it off for over a year and a half now.🙌 The last pic is my favorite because it’s what I wear now. I went from size📏 36” pants (tight) to a comfortable 32” and from XL shirts to a comfortable medium.👊” #strive4health #AntiDiet #WeightLoss #FitDad #DadLife

Hum.. how about NO! 🙅🏻♀️ If anyone tells you you need to eat less because your a woman PLEASE flush them our of your life! It’s BS. Every body is different and calorie needs varie DAILY. Your muscle mass, physical activity level, non exercise activity (I.e moving around, getting up, sitting down, cooking, using your hands to talk, etc.) and your metabolic functions. Gender does play in a role in the sense that men tend to be larger and have more muscle mass but it is not always the case. So girls, listen to your body and eat the amount of food that feels right for your body!! #balancednutrition #womennutrition #womenempowerment #nutritionwithintention #nutritionwithpurpose #balanceddiet #balancedmeals #balanceddietitian #portionsize #calorieneeds #ottawafoodies #ottawanutritionist #ottawadietitian #registereddietitian #registereddietitianapproved #antidiet #antidietdietitian #healthateverysize #norestrictions #nodiets
An unfortunate truth I've come to understand is that our culture values and respects a certain body ideal and blatantly discriminates another. I'm talking about thin bodies vs fat bodies. Because I exist in this form I automatically receive better treatment, respect, medical care, and never have to worry about fitting into an airplane seat. Yet there are people who exist in larger bodies that have to shop online because stores don't carry their size, they don't recieve the medical care they need because their symptoms are blamed on their weight, they get dirty looks and comments because people assume they're unhealthy, and their size is because of something they're doing wrong. ⚠️. . . Our culture has conditioned us to believe certain myths about people in larger bodies, and we've intentionally created ways to prevent them from living normal, happy lives devoid of respect and basic human needs. In doing so, those existing in thin bodies fear gaining weight so we all (small and large) put ourselves through endless diets and exercise routines so we can fit in and earn the privilege society has blessed thin bodies. We continue to slander larger bodies to convince ourselves we're "concerned for their health" and to prove we are better than them so we repeat the mantra that our worth is based on our weight. This is why we fight diet culture and stand up for ALL bodies. Regardless of what you believe, weight stigma is damaging to everyone. Those living in thin bodies have the opportunity to use our privilege to speak up for those that don't. If we took a minute to see everyone as a person worthy of respect regardless of their size, this world would be a healthier, happier place. 🌻. . . #antidiet #fatphobia #fuckfatphobia #thinprivilege #thinideal #dietculture #dietcultureisaliar #healthateverysize #haes #bodypositive #respect #noflaws #bodyimage #worthy #allbodiesaregoodbodies #endweightstigma #weightbias #health #diet #bodyliberation #weightinclusive #healthyliving #everybodyisbeatiful #mentalhealth
Summer is just around the corner. If you’re wondering how to get a bikini body, here’s how! Find one you love, put it on, acknowledge the diet culture + fatphobic society we live in which is making you feel you you can’t wear a bikini, and then wear it anyway (even if it’s just alone in your room for now!) . When we’re struggling with body image, it’s hard to wear a bikini. And if you live in a larger body, it’s another layer of difficulty as we experience fatphobia and judgment from others for wearing things that are deemed for only thin people. . There are so many forces in our society that tell us what we should and shouldn’t do/wear/be/etc—diet culture, weight stigma, white supremacy, misogyny, transphobia, anti-blackness, and more. It makes existing in your body at whatever intersections you lie at difficult . It’s important to acknowledge those things working against you and to have compassion for yourself. In terms of body image and fatphobia: you may not feel ready to wear a bikini—that’s okay! How can we challenge those fears? My suggestion is maybe just wearing it alone in your room for now.

Be kind to yourself ⭐💕 We are constantly bombarded with negative messages, and I think it's so important to combat these messages with positives ones🌈 And what better place than on your mirror? 💕 @fromp.toyou #gifted me this lovely sticker and reminded me to be kind to myself every time I look in the mirror🌞 #bekindtoyourself
It’s a real possibility someone might actually judge your body when you’re at the beach. But I can bet it’s not going to be the person who’s comfortable in their own body. It’s going to be the person who keeps adjusting their own bathing suit cover up or keeps sucking in their stomach. They have their own body image issues and it has nothing to do with you. Let them be miserable you have a beach to enjoy! 😎 Friendly reminder for the unofficial start of summer: All. Bodies. Are. Beach. Bodies.

I had an amazing conversation with my mom this morning about imposter syndrome. ✨ Sometimes, the imposter gremlins rear their ugly head. They try to tell us that ________ (fill in the blank) disqualifies us. That if only we could change / fix / alter this thing - we would would feel more worthy, be more accepted, more loved. ✨ Whether it be how many degrees you hold, how much money you make, where you fall on the timeline life has laid out for us (married with kids with a good job) or even when it comes to our bodies — it’s a lie. ✨ @themiltantbaker always talks about body liberation; we are so much more than a body, a job, a partner, a parent. ✨ These things in life do not qualify us because you are 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 worthy.✨ Graphic repost via @moreloveorg

When stormy days turn beauuuutiful 🙌🏼✨ Craving this smoothie bowl as I’m out and about enjoying the gorgeous weather with a friend. What’re you up to today?! 💛. . Berry smoothie bowl filled with 2 cups of frozen berries, vegan protein powder, a tablespoon of chia seeds and a handful of spinach 🌿
I am by no means the food police; *telling* clients how to eat is not a useful strategy for real change. But I will *collaborate* with them to figure out a new way of eating that is free of the restrictive food rules that we think are “healthy” but are actually just dieting and restriction in disguise. ⠀ ⠀ So all that to say, if you need a little something g new and delicious in your food routine, I highly recommend my favorite open faced sandwich of the moment. ⠀ ⠀ -Two slices toasted bread (mine is gluten free because my body revolts against wheat)⠀ -Garlic hummus generously spread over toast⠀ -12 thin slices cucumber split between toast evenly⠀ -tomato slices⠀ -sea salt ⠀ You could also add an egg or sliced turkey for something a little extra. ⠀ All this equals a little bit of heaven in your mouth! It’s a great hot weather, summer snack or small lunch (I also love it for breakfast!) So get to eating! 🍅🤗🥒
Saturday night takeaway, we’ve had a lazy day today, not really moved off the couch 🛋 so a trip to our favourite restaurant for a takeaway, we decided to go for the mixed grilla, so we’ve got lamb, beef, chicken, and chicken with bacon. Sooo good, but I couldn’t manage the beef, which my eldest quickly swiped from my plate 🙈 . . . #saturdaynight #saturdayvibes #takeaway #takeaways #hde #hungerdirectedeating #hungerdirectedeatingjourney #health #healthyfood #healthyfoodchoices #healthyfoodideas #healthyeating #healthyeatingideas #healthychoices #healthyideas #antidiet #antidietrevolution #haveyourcakeandskinnyjeanstoo #nomoredietrules #selflove #selfacceptance #postivievibes #sharethelove #bodypositive #nomorediets #ditchthediet #bodyacceptance

When practicing intuitive eating, you may lose, gain or maintain weight. It is all part of the transition from dieting, "lifestyle" changes, restricting (intentional or unconsciously) or trying to control your weight through chronic over exercising. Whatever your body is doing, it needs to do. Allow it to settle where it feels best without trying to control it because this will keep you in the restriction/binge cycle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Understand that weight gain is especially common for women in mid-life regardless of what we eat (due to slowing metabolism and hormone changes), so understand this and get support if you need to rather than going to extremes with eating and movement in an attempt to recapture your "youthful" body. Our bodies are not supposed to stay the same. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Regardless of how you feel about this (and I know it can be a challenge) the most loving response is to continue focusing on self-care and honoring our bodies whenever we can.
Winter may be over, but my oatmeal obsession will never fade! I want to talk about the discrepancy between serving and portion size today... Have you ever turned a packaged product around and looked at the “serving size”? Often times, it will be an amount that is WAY less than what a typical person would consume. 1/4 cup of granola for breakfast?? 2 tbsp peanut butter?? One pop tart out of a package of two?? A half a chocolate chip cookie (seriously, who eats a half of a cookie)?? While I recognize the importance of how eating more than a potion multiplies the calories and nutrient content in a food, we should not feel restricted by a serving size label. Our portion sizes should directly reflect our hunger cues and what we need to nourish our bodies. I ate this bowl of oats, which was three times the “serving size,” after working all day because that’s what I needed to feel warm, cozy, and satisfied. There’s nothing quite like a big bowl of porridge, especially with fruit, nut butters, and spices mixed in! Oats are a great source of slow digesting carbohydrates, protein, manganese, phosphorus, iron, and more! How do you like your oats?
What is self care to you? While I geek out about nutrition and it’s relation to our physical wellbeing, I also see the IMMENSE importance in emotional, mental, spiritual, intellectual, social, environmental, and occupational wellbeing. Our physical health is important, but it is not the full picture. Too often we focus on our appearance as a direct and complete picture of our wellness, and that is just silly. We all, myself included, should all tune into our other aspects of wellness and care for ourselves in a more well rounded way:) I love to read and take time away from the fast paced world out in nature. I also care for myself by constantly remembering to pack a snack, exercising (when my body is craving it), practicing yoga, and connecting with people that make me laugh. What did you do today to take care of yourself?
Birthday celebrations call for brownies (in cupcake liners of course). I’m in love with my 3 INGREDIENT brownies, they’re nutritious and made of ingredients you likely already have laying around:) All you need is: a bunch (4 big or 6 small) of brown bananas, 1 cup of nut butter (I used almond but any kind works), and 1/2 cup of cocoa powder! Mash the bananas, stir in the almond butter, and then the cocoa until it’s smooth:) then pour into cupcake molds (topping with nuts/chocolate chips/sprinkles if desired) and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350F! Let them cool completely (if you can wait that long) until peeling them out of the tin and devouring!!! pro tip: if you like a super smooth batter, blend all the ingredients together before pouring into liners!
I don’t know what I love more about this photo, the amazing banana bread or the miami tuuulips💐 I am banana bread obsessed, but I rarely ever make it. Here’s the problem: In order to make banana bread, you need spotty, overripe bananas. It just so happens that I have an affinity for brown bananas. I’ll actually wait to eat the bananas in my house/dorm room until they turn brown:) (sorry not sorry) Anyway, I used to shy away from banana bread (even though I loveee it). I thought it was too sugary and not “whole” enough to eat. Maybe banana bread isn’t the most nutrient dense food, but it’s emotionally satisfying and nourishing. It’s important to nourish your body: both the physical AND the emotional. While I am naturally drawn to fruits and veggies and all that good stuff, I certainly leave room for the sweet treats whenever I want one! It’s good for the soul, people:) Do you like nuts in your banana bread? Middle or end piece?
Oxford farmers market finds! With tomorrow being Mother’s Day and all, I decided to shop local:) Flowers, of course, are from a family owned farm called Little Creek Valley and the hot sauce (my momma LOVES hot sauce) by Ironwater Acres! It feels so special to talk to the producers of the product you’re buying, I think there should be more of that. How do you support local businesses? #farmersmarket
lemon blueberry muffins on this fine thursday:) Blueberry muffins are nostalgic for me, they were the first thing I remember learning how to bake with my grandma:) my sister and I would do sleepovers at her house and run downstairs as fast as we could in the morning to make some jiffy blueberry muffins. I think it’s important to note here that not everything we eat must be perfectly “clean” (other than properly washing your produce and using food safety of course). While sugar isn’t the most nutrient dense food, it’s emotionally and mentally nourishing. These are not your grandmas muffins guys, and the agave almond butter glaze brings it ova the toppp<3 p.s. I used frozen blueberries but you can use fresh! I like frozen because they are cheap, last forever basically, and often more likely to be picked at the peak of freshness:) ingredients: DRY- 2 cups flour (I used oat), 1/2 cup of sugar (cane or coconut works best), 1 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, zest 1 lemon WET- 1 cup milk (I used almond), 1/3 cup oil, 1 tbsp vinegar (I used apple cider) BLUEBERRIES of course(1 1/2-2 cups) Heat that oven up to 375, mix the dry and the wet separately, and then add the dry to the wet slowly. Stir the blueberries in realll good until your batter is swirly pretty blue. If you are going rogue like me and not using liners, make sure to grease your pan! Put those puppies in for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out cleanish (the wet blueberries, if frozen, might make it hard to tell) and let them cool COMPLETELY before taking them out of the muffin tin! Almond agave glaze: mix 2 tbsp almond butter with 2 tbsp agave and use water to thin to your liking:)
